Package: dvipng Version: 1.12-1 Severity: important Hi there!
It seems that without ghostscript dvipng exits with no useful message:
=====
l...@gismo:~/Lab/thesis/text$ dvipng -T tight -x 1400 -D 72 \
-bg Transparent -pp 18:18 thesis.idv -o thesis8x.png
This is dvipng 1.12 Copyright 2002-2008 Jan-Ake Larsson
dvipng warning: DVI magnification of 1000 over-ridden by user (1400)
l...@gismo:~/Lab/thesis/text$ echo $?
141
l...@gismo:~/Lab/thesis/text$
=====
Some debug reveals that dvipng indeed calls gs to render the picture:
=====
l...@gismo:~/Lab/thesis/text$ dvipng -d 1 -T tight -x 1400 -D 72 \
-bg Transparent -pp 18:18 thesis.idv -o thesis8x.png
[...]
OPEN FILE: '$FILE.eps' <$FILE.eps
GS RENDER $FILE -> pngalpha
EXPAND BBOX 0 0 192 71 -> 0 0 190 70
GS CALL: gs -sDEVICE=pngalpha -r86x86 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q \

Please add ghostscript to dvipng Depends:, TIA.
Thx, bye,
